    Saw them first time on Yle, Finnish TV, in the fall of 1984 when at a boarding school. My roommate a I had rented a VCR from Thorn and taped all episodes. I still laugh at their jokes, after 35+ years! Especially the scene where Griff makes his entrance suited up for some bondage makes me howl with laughter.
